Interfaith dialogue is often perceived as a theoretical activity limited to specialists or those who are more senior or an activity that is overly formal and disconnected with everyday life. However, during this pandemic young people have reached out in creative and constructive ways to engage in dialogue with friends from a variety of religious backgrounds. There have been conversations about coping with the impact of Covid-19 that draw on our respective spiritual resources. These conversations can take place in everyday life and by meeting people face to face or online. They challenge us to deepen our practice of interfaith dialogue and acknowledge the critical role of these dialogues in the work to build sustainable peace in all our communities.
